HELP - multiple part mpeg files

Could someone please tell me how to combine multiple mpeg files into just
one. What I mean is this; say I have 5 mpeg files named movie1.mpeg,
movie2.mpeg, movie3.mpeg, etc. Each mpeg file is a continuation of the
previous one. How can I combine all 5 into 1 so I can watch the whole clip
instead of having to watch 5 separate ones?

Click on F1 in OE, search for "combine and decode". Once you figure that
out, then get a good news program such as Agent or XNews.

Wrong! This is not a combine and decode situation.
Some posters break longer movies into "clips" then post those.
There are some programs available, but most are not reliable.

What can be tried though, is to use windows movies maker.
Import the clips, then combine into one longer movie.
The output will be in wmv format and may even be smaller in size.

The only time combine and decode works is when you have the situation:
moviename.mpg.001 (01/30) // This is file 1 of moviename.mpg which contains
30 parts. This is the first part.
moviename.mog.001 (02/30) // This is the 2nd part.

After that, you then need other software to join the various pieces
together.

You need a program like "AVI/MPEG/RM/WMV Joiner"http://www.boilsoft.com/

Yeah, I saw that but thought it was a newbie error in remembering how
the sections are named. He specifically asked about combining multiple
mpegs and I suppose I made an assumption. I see now on closer reading
that he probably didn't mean combine and decode.

Yeah; I don't know fer sure, either, which is why I suggested a
*possible* alternative, instead of hollering "Wrong!" like some kind of
bone-headed usenet kook.

I use "Easy Video Joiner" for this purpose: http://doeasier.org/joiner/ A
7-day free trial is offered. This utility works very quickly, and can
join mpeg, avi, Real Media and WMV files as well.

No. A splitter/joiner will only join files where the file was split into
chunks with a splitter.
Those can be identified with names like movie.mpg.001.
to join moive1.mpg to movie2.mpg, you need a different type of joiner.
Something like windows movie maker.

He asked a specific question that you assumed wrongly.
Because you saw the word "combining" you immediately think "combine and
decode".
Because I see various types of movie combinations all the time, I know the
difference between movie names and numbering.

e.g.:
movie.mpg (01/30)
This says a file by the name of movie.mpg has thirty parts and this is the
first part.
Use combine and decode.
There are no more parts.

movie.mpg.001 (01/30)
In this case, a not only do we use combine and decode, but most likely will
need a joiner to complete the numerous parts.
These can also be joined in dos and sometimes a batch file is included.

movie1.mpg.
A complete movie with no sub parts that require joining in any way.
if movie2.mpg is the second "clip" of the entire movie, then it may be
possible to join in dos or use a program designed to join to create one
longer movie.

This is what the OP was asking about.
I have several movies just like this and they don't always join together so
easily.
